What would be “a real mess” per @AEI’s @kevinrkosar? A crisis of “illegitimacy” per @NewAmerica’s @leedrutman? And a “dangerously open field with very little guidance” per our own @btremitiere? 🔺 a contingent election 🔺 @ebaueri explains why:

It may surprise you that 78% of Americans are satisfied with how things are going in the personal lives. It surprised me. So, if most people are satisfied with their lives, why is our democracy in crisis? That's the question I try to answer here: leedrutman.substack.com/p/are-we-losin…

Just because Rep. Dan Kildee says it's unprecedented does not actually mean it's unprecedent. Because it is not unprecedented. But it is a major departure from House norms and politics of the last 40+ years. It required a fundamental break in the Republican party to witness it.

1/7 The interesting thing about the House Mike Johnson presides over is that it simultaneously has incredibly high rates of party-unity voting combined with relatively high frequencies of the majority party losing roll-call votes. Read on for definitions, analysis, and caveats.
Another looming fight over the speakership gives me another excuse to re-up my long essay on the history of organization in the House, in which I attempt to expand our imagination of what is possible based on, you know, history. open.substack.com/pub/leedrutman…

19K Followers 7K Following Politics Editor @WSJ. Former @nationaljournal @washingtonpost & @rollcall. @UCBerkeley alum. L.A. native. Vin Scully forever.What’s really fun is when you learn that this is how ALL people develop political opinions, not just college students. Political attitudes are more about in-group identity than reason and core values.
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
@leedrutman Yes. And Biden focuses smartly on both -- but many Americans hunger for something bigger and bolder, involving meaningful structural/electoral reforms and an inspiring vision of how democracy can built for the 21st century.
They work together a lot.
BERNIE SANDERS: "I am in the unusual position of supporting Senator Lee's efforts."
The average American thinks "majority rules" means "a majority of all members" not "my party gets to cram its bills down the other party's throat." Here's a bipartisan majority in favor of voting rather than bickering. The House will vote on the bills---as well they should.
The Rules Committee just voted for the Rule to bring the $100 billion foreign aid supplemental (plus REPO Act, TikTok ban, etc) to the floor without anything for the U.S. Border. 4 democrats and 5 republicans voted yes. 3 republicans (Roy, Norman, Massie) voted no.
@BardHarstad @RpsAgainstTrump @NedregardOda I wish! Because electoral instiutions shape parties ability to discipline its’ rank-and-file, the US needs electoral reform to end its’ two party doom loop, as @leedrutman argues. In Norway, a watershed moment was the adoption of PR in 1919, which immediately incr party cohesion.

@leedrutman have to remember too that, in many places, rural counties have lost a ton of their population. so selection is as much of a factor (or more) than persuasion.
Some personal news. After two wonderful decades at @TheEconomist, I am off to help run external relations at the IMF. I am grateful for many wonderful friends and experiences in journalism - and excited to be joining one of the last bastions of global problem-solving. @IMFNews

One big embarrassment of our time will have been the continued spilling of money into an electoral reform that, in study after study, points to a disenfranchisement effect of around 5%. This story won’t get told for a decade or so.
I guess the New Jersey fault line got jealous that the county line was getting all the line-related attention.
A centrist third party could certainly work *given a different electoral system*. It's winner-take-all elections -- not Americans' underlying preferences -- that give us two dominant parties.
The No Labels flop confirms what we already know: The idea of a centrist 3rd party sounds good in theory but does not work in practice. The two political parties in this country are ultra powerful. As is partisanship. People like to say they would love another option but when…
Deleted previous post and resending with correct handle: Interesting @leedrutman on why RFK Jr. matters and why he’s succeeding while No Labels has struggled. leedrutman.substack.com/p/why-rfk-jr-w…

@leedrutman @fdwilkinson I think we do. But you and I both live in an ecosystem that valorizes changes to institutions over the hard work of organizing or new political ideas.
Below- interesting experimental study about RCV that came out the same day as ours at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ss… raising similar ?s about #RCV. Science is the accumulation of evidence! We are accumulating evidence! Looking forward to more!
